Don’t give up
I’ve never done a juice cleanse before so I didn’t really know what to expect. Here’s my experience. Day one: ginger shot - set my throat on fire and tasted ginger for the next two hours. Good thing that I don’t mind the taste of ginger. Followed the shot with the Rise and Shine drink. That one is very mild so I continued to taste the ginger. My morning “snack” was Green Day (the one with cucumber and celery). Huge mistake. That one is nastier than anything. Be warned. This left me very wary for the rest of the drinks throughout the day. However, I was pleasantly surprised that the flavors of the rest of the drinks weren’t that bad. By the end of the day I had peed about 100 times and was hungrier than, well, someone who loves food and is not allowed to eat anything. I wasn’t going to continue this and give it over to my husband the next day - but the next morning found me 3# lighter so I thought, “What the heck? Let’s try it again.” This day also found me on the toilet for a good 30 minutes “cleaning out my colon”. Allow time for this. (This was the only time this happened to me during this cleanse, too.) Day two - ginger shot wasn’t nearly as bad - not sure if it’s because my throat was fried from the day before or not... but I digress. I followed the ginger shot with the gross green one. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOING THIS. It doesn’t make it better, it just gets it out of the way for the rest of the day. I wasn’t as hungry or grumpy, so that’s good. Still peed every hour. Day three was the same as day two but I was ready to be done. By the end of the three days I was 5# lighter, felt lighter and cleaner, and decided that in the end it wasn’t so bad. Note: seriously ween yourself back into normal foods. Day 4 found myself eating a lot of veggies, minimum protein (some ham and turkey on a chef salad) and a breadstick and I could feel it going through my intestines. That was weird. Should have eaten lighter on Day 5, too. My workouts: Day 1: vigorous cardio Day 2: light cardio Day 3: stretching, weights I’ll probably do it again depending on if I gain it all back in 3 days. I hope this review helps you prepare for your clean journey.
